Grapefruit Diet information

The Grapefruit diet is based around the premise that grapefruit contains fat burning properties and is similar to the cabbage soup diet. There are several versions of this diet and their duration varies from 7 to 21 days. Most of these diets are very low in calories, usually about 800-1000 calories. The diet recommends high quantities of caffeine drinks like coffee (no milk or sugar).

Grapefruit Diet : Reasons for

  • You will lose weight following this diet
  • Easy to follow

Grapefruit Diet : Reasons against

  • Boring selection of available foods
  • Not enough vitamins or minerals
  • Weight loss is mainly water and will return when normal diet resumes
  • Low calorie diets can cause fatigue, nausea and constipation

Grapefruit Diet : Verdict

Grapefruit does not contain any fat burning properties and all weight that is lost is due to the diets 800 -1000 calorie intake. Grapefruit is a healthy fruit that is fat free and low in calories but any similar diet based on any fruit would work. It would also be unhealthy and not give the required nutrition. If you are after a short-term plan like this the cabbage soup diet is a better version. Though with both diets the weight soon returns.
